So I've been searching around for a gaming PC the past month,
2500 dollar or 1500 pound budget.

Here is what I've put together:
Any changes you guys would do, keeping the price around the budget.
Keeping the focus solely on gaming.

An Intel Core i7-4790K is overkill for gaming. You would do fine with an i5-4690K (And save money). If you are overclocking, your aftermarket CPU cooler is fine. Otherwise, your build is solid. It will run all games at 1080p on maxed settings with stable FPS.

I would say step down to an i5 4690k for gaming, you will get around 1-2 fps less. Also maybe look into the fractal r5 instead of r4, its just as good, but with a few added featers, and better cooling, and i think more space. Thats the case I am going to get for a build practically identical to yours.
